Scratch Adhesion Testing of Disc Coatings

In this study, instrumented scratch testing is used to assess the failure modes of the top layers of CD and BD. This test allows users to quantitatively compare the scratch resistance of different protective coatings.

Wear Evaluation by High Load Tribometer

The Macro Tribometer is designed with high torque capability for loads up to 500 N. In this study, we simulated and compared the wear behaviors of valve coatings under high loads to showcase the capacity of Nanovea Macro Tribom
eter in quantitatively evaluating the wear properties of materials such as wear rate and coefficient of friction.

Wear Evaluation by High Load Tribometer

Here are examples of materials we tested this month:

2015 Tradeshow Calender

NEXT MONTH!

The International Conference on Metallurgical Coatings and Thin Films (ICMCTF) is internationally recognized as the premier international conference focused on thin-film deposition, characterization, and advanced surface engineering. It brings together scientists, engineers, and technologists from academia, government laboratories, and industry, thereby merging cutting-edge research with real-world applications. The conference consistently draws more than 700 attendees each year within 37 oral technical sessions and a well-attended poster session. Learn more
